disable i7 7700k overclocking
Hi, I just purchased and assembled a PC
i7700k
Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5
Hyper X Fury DDR4 8 GB
Coolermaster Hyper 212x
MSI GTX 1060 6 GB
Corsair Graphite 780t
Corsair 750rm PSU
My question: My processor is showing 4500mhz and temperature between 49-50°C in Gigabyte MMO BIOS.
I think the processor is auto overclocked (not sure, a bit confused). How can I disable the overclocking?
My idle temperature is 39 to 40°C in the HW monitor software, and 85-90°C while playing games.
Is it okay to use it in this temperature range? Also, I’m confused because my BIOS temperature differs from the HW monitor software.

The 7700K operates at 4.5 GHz under normal conditions (Turbo Boost). Your issue lies with the CPU cooler not being sufficient for this model. A $40 cooler for a $300+ CPU? You'll need something better like a Noctua NH U14S or NH U12S. For future overclocking, consider a Noctua NH D15.

Thank you for your understanding; I’ll think about purchasing it soon... but why is the temperature showing differently in BIOS and HWMonitor?

Your issue seems to stem from an insufficient CPU cooler for the 7700K, especially with a $30 cooler on a $300+ processor?
You should consider upgrading to a better cooler such as a Noctua NH U14S or NH U12S.
If you plan to overclock later, a Noctua NH D15 would be suitable.
thnx will think about purchasing one soon... but why are the temperatures differing between BIOS and HWMonitor?
It's normal; usually the 40s range, nothing to worry about. Once Windows starts, the software adjusts and temperatures stabilize.
JimmyEatWord needs to reduce the voltage pumpage on your Gigabyte MMO. This prevents the CPU from getting too hot during overclocking. It's currently running at stock settings, around 1.212V, with stable clock speeds and voltage levels. At idle, it drops to about 800MHz and 0.744V. The 7700K typically operates at 4.5 GHz normally. With a decent cooler, it can maintain around 30°C during gaming, which is ideal.
JAZIII :
you need to lower the voltage on your gigabyte mobo, that prevents the cpu from getting too hot during overclocking
the default was 1.3v, I adjusted it to 1.2v but the temperature stayed the same
do you have the newest BIOS for your motherboard?
if not, install it.
after that, reset it to the optimized defaults and avoid changing the voltage.
the updated BIOS offers improved voltage control so it will handle things properly.
